    Windows Reserved Bandwidth” is just a QoS Packet Scheduler. The Linux Kernel has this too. Equally difficult to disable on any system, because its assumed you will want to be able to download a file and surf the web at the same time.

    Do we know for a fact that the Windows marketing telemetry does not use any of this reserved bandwidth? Or are we just taking the vendor’s word for that?

    I asked because ‘reserving’ is different than ‘prioritizing’. Generally speaking, a QoS prioritizes, where what’s being described by the title is reserving.
